To be covered.

We were just turned on to a fantastic, musically inclined blog called My Old Kentucky Blog, at which the most recent posts feature numerous cover versions of a singular song. For instance, today's track is "Hallelujah," and there are about 4,683 versions (mercifully excepting the Jeff Buckley and Leonard Cohen versions) for your enjoyment. Past picks include Neutral Milk Hotel's lovely "In the Aeroplane over the Sea" and Joy Division's loveless "Love Will Tear Us Apart," covered here by a very young 10,000 Maniacs. (We'll never forgive you for not signing our shirt, Merchant.) Go!
